Illness That Is Pornography

January 24, 1986|The Morning Call

To the Editor:

The porno industry (disease) is something I'm certain all the good people in this land would like to see wiped out. We are a nation trying to stamp out crime, drugs and disease, and many professionals and nonprofessiona ls are devoting their entire lives to this cause. But not "porno illness." This is a disease that is allowed to flourish because the ACLU uses the First Amendment as a smokescreen while ignoring the intentions of our Founding Fathers in the Preamble of the Constitution.

Pornography does not help to form a more perfect union nor does it help to promote the general welfare. It does help to destroy the dignity of mankind. It exploits women and innocent children for lustful gain. It destroys the values which make up the fabric of civilization. Can someone tell me why the majority of this "government of the people, by and for the people" is not allowed the option of allowing or disallowing porno business in "Hometown," U.S.A.? Is there a figure in government brave enough to start a move to this end? How about starting right in Allentown?
